2020 KITE
THE BRAND What separates the extraordinary from the ordinary, cutting edge from customary, innovation from imitation? In kiteboarding, the answer is one simple put powerful word: Passion. Passion is the cornerstone of why we do what we do at Slingshot kiteboarding. We are a brand founded on a love for the wind, water and the great outdoors. After more than 15 years in the industry, a true passion for genuine innovation and high-quality equipment is what motivates us to keep pushing forward year after year. Slingshot was founded in 1999, in the windsports mecca of the Columbia River Gorge. Brothers Jeff and Tony Logosz grew the brand from the ground up and remain at the helm today, Jeff as the CEO and Tony as the chief designer. Over the years, Slingshot has built and maintained a reputation for constantly pushing the envelope, both in the innovative products it produces and the athletes who continually push and redefine the sport. Located in Hood River, Oregon, Slingshot headquarters overlooks the epicenter and birthplace of kiteboarding. From their office window, the crew has a front-row seat as they watch the sport evolve in front of their eyes.

RALLY GT V1 The NEW Rally GT is the evolution of our most popular and versatile freeride crossover kite. With a distinctly different outline than prior years, the Rally GT has been redesigned to better fill the position in our lineup as the true all-riders, all-conditions, one-kite-wonder. A NEW three-strut canopy design, lower aspect ratio and stubby, swept wingtips give it playfully quick steering and response with ginormous wind range and depower. The relaunch on this kite takes little more than the flick of a wrist, then sheet and go with super smooth power delivery. While our other kites gravitate toward a specific condition or discipline of riding, the Rally GT is designed to be the golden child of our lineup- good at everything, bad at none.

SURFBOARDS
NEW 2020 SURFBOARDS by custom board shaper, Tony Logosz The design of each 2020 Slingshot surfboard has been updated to be lighter and higher performing than ever before. What can be best described as quality, hand built construction, the 2020 surf line is a mix of custom construction techniques that have resulted in boards with a pure surf feel and enough durability to endure the sport of kitesurfing demands. No detail went unnoticed for 2020. All the boards in the line feature bamboo reinforcement under the front foot and Carbon Fibre under both the rear and front foot. These reinforcements provide the utmost feel and feedback to the rider in a durable package. Added to a handful of our surfboards is a NEW grab rail on the top decks creating easier handling both on and off the water. Your feet will be happy with the upgrade to our EVA deck pads which now feature a softer and more grippy EVA and traction pattern. Lastly, even the inserts on the tail of every board have been repositioned to give riders the optimal rear foot position when riding straps.
2020 CELERO FR Returning for 2020 the Celero FR is ENTIRELY NEW and REBUILT. Designed for versatility and reliability in all conditions, from underpowered and mushy to shore pound, rolling river swell, high-speed down winders and overhead man eaters. NEW for 2020, we updated the rails for a slightly more parallel outline, which translates to a bit more upwind drive and pop for aerials. We also changed to a squash tail, giving the Celero FR more lift and low-end drive and a looser feel. This is the all-around, one board quiver our lineup. For 2020, all Slingshot surfboards feature new construction that makes them significantly lighter and gives a more connected surfboard feel while maintaining the durability needed to stand up to the sport of kitesurfing.

2020 MIXER NEW for 2020, The Mixer features new construction that makes it significantly lighter and gives a more connected surfboard feel while maintaining bomber durability needed to stand up to the sport of kitesurfing. Upgraded to a five-fin configuration, riders can now swap between the faster, more responsive and looser feel of a quad-fin setup or the traditional, locked-in feel of a three-fin thruster. Now with a NEW winged rounded pin tail, the Mixer is going to provide a looser feel and enable smooth turns while keeping speed for bigger waves. This shape tail also makes the board quite stable in smaller less powerful surf and lighter winds. A slightly rounder outline and more robust belly on the board excels it in smaller wave conditions enabling it to float through lulls and weaker sections. The impressive top end speed allows the Mixer to keep up if the swells picks up or a decent sized set comes through.
MIXER 5’6” // 5’8” // 5’10” | SKU 1202160
WHY YOU’LL LOVE THE MIXER + NEW Construction- lighter weight, more control, more connected feel + NEW Versa-fin configuration lets you choose between five fin, quad or thruster + NEW Winged, rounded pin tail range and early planing provides loose, playful carving + NEW Cushy new corduroy deck pad is super grippy and comfortable + NEW Footstrap insert placement + A versatile, performance shortboard for smaller wave shredding and chop

2020 SCI-FLY New for 2020, the Sci-Fly is a modern short board designed for aerials and powered-up, progressive freeriding. A parallel rail outline helps with edging and load/pop off the water, while relative high rocker helps soften landings, helps prevent nose diving and gives the board a looser, skate-like feel. To aid in mid-air maneuvers, the Sci-Fly has top and bottom grab rails for easy grip and a chopped nose that reduces swing weight. A winged diamond tail gives the board plenty of backend grip and a clean exit when releasing from the water.
